bad judgement, or crooks?

The ex-head of Fannie Mae is a criminal? What was he convicted of and when did THAT happen? It is common knowledge that he, and many others, made some bad loans to people who couldnt pay them back. To want, and try, to put people into a home is a good thing, but he must put people into homes they can afford. As long as the homes were appreciating all was well but when that stopped happening, it went downhill quickly. It was certainly poor judgement and ineptitude, much like our Mayor and Council, and you may suspect criminal behavior (much like our Mayor and Council), but as of this moment no criminal case has been made in either case, has there?

58th street landfill

IF the mitigation fee for the 58th street dump is 5.5 mil and 1.5 mil PER YEAR, WHY would we WANT to annex that property? Hasnt our illustrious Council made ENOUGH screwups for the next 20 years? Never underestimate The Council's propensity for flushing our tax money away, by the truckloads. With their repeated and truly incredible lack of vision, common sense, economic awareness, and/or fiscal responsibility they have taken municipal futility and haplessness, if not criminality, to new levels. How many MILLIONS will have to disappear before the people either wake up, OR the City goes bankrupt? Cluelessness is, as cluelessness does.
